Once more onto the beach dear friends . . .

And litter the lake with a frozen Liam?

Some folks have already seen this, and I beg your indulgence.

Some of you have been through this with me five times before.

If it's Fall, that means the Special Olympics Polar Plunge cannot be far away.

This year, we're going into Lake George on Saturday, Nov. 21.

To those of you who helped last year, know that you were part of a group that allowed me to raise more money than anyone else at Lake George.

I would love to do that again and to help our team, Agni Dentati (Sheep With Teeth) beat out Saratoga Rugby for the top spot.

Like you, I know times are hard. It's true for Special Olympics as well. Funding is hard to come by these days.

If you can help in any way, that would be great.

If you want to join our team, that would be great.

(I don't know if it will happen this year, but in the past, if you raise $250, you get a hotel for the event).

Thanks, and take care, all.

You can donate here.

Oh, and evilnicola and I have a bet.

The person who raises more money gets to pick a Shakespeare speech. The loser must deliver it, at top voice, while we're lined up to dive in and during the dive as well.

Deep in the heart of Ealdormere

Is there anyone hanging around here in the Liamverse who is in Septentria?

I have a friend who just moved to Caer Draeth.

Anyone? Anyone?
